How do I delete or move students names from my course sections? There is a discrepancy with my Web Advisor class rosters.
I need to delete a couple of students from Canvas and move one students from one section to another.
Thanks!

@mbloch ,
Moving users between Canvas courses or sections depends on how your instance is integrated with your SIS (Student Information System). There are also permissions that Canvas Admins can enable that will prevent users from adding or removing students from courses that are created by the SIS. I would recommend checking with your Canvas Administrator first to see if this is something that you can even do.
Manually adding and removing users in a course is done through the People tab.
How do I use the People page in a course as an instructor?
